Thus, as He Song transformed into a tunneling light and departed, he was still able to perceive the conversation between Su Qian and An Ning.

After listening to Su Qian’s words, An Ning repeatedly nodded her head, showing deep agreement.

She also did not forget to bow to Su Qian and thank her.

Satisfied, Su Qian nodded and continued leading An Ning towards the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.

Only after he was tens of miles away from the Lin family members, He Song, who had been traveling by tunneling light, timely took out his lower-grade spirit artifact flying boat and began to advance at high speed, leaving this place.

But this time was different.

In the return journey, He Song did not hurry on his way, but instead spread his divine sense scanning over large areas he passed through.

In the past,

He Song did not have much interest in venturing out for opportunities.

After all, his earlier cultivation was shallow, and he did not have enough strength to deal with external crises. Naturally, he strongly rejected the idea of going elsewhere for opportunities.

As an everlasting being, during the time his cultivation was weak, his first priority was to ensure his own safety.

Only by living steadily could he increase his strength and prevent his life from being greatly threatened again.

But, things are different now.

Currently, He Song had reached the Golden Core Realm and had a certain ability to protect himself.

However, unlike before, He Song has not joined any sect, and he couldn’t obtain any Golden Elixir secrets from any sect to make his strength even stronger.

Under such circumstances, it was natural for He Song to start looking for opportunities and gradually enhance his strength through these opportunities.

Furthermore, He Song, who now had a certain self-protection ability, did not need to be as careful as before when he was seeking opportunities outside.

Even if he faced a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, with He Song’s current strength, he could easily deal with the dangers inside.

Moreover, He Song was proficient in array tao, so he could quickly discern Golden Elixir Cave Mansions and Foundation Establishment Cave Mansions that had set up Array Skills.

At least, it was easier for him to find them than other cultivators.

As such, He Song naturally had more motivation to seek opportunities.

This was also the reason why He Song would release his divine sense to scan large areas he passed through on his return journey.

If possible,

He Song wished to stumble upon several opportunities during his return.

However,

several days later,

his Golden Elixir Cave Mansion was in sight, but he had found no opportunities. This left He Song speechless.

“It seems that opportunities need to be sought slowly. Scanning large areas with divine sense in the hope of finding such opportunities is indeed wishful thinking.”

“Even though many cultivators in the Cultivation World die each year, leaving behind many cave mansions in the mountains and rivers.”

“But, opportunities are not so easily gained.”

“It could be quite difficult to find a great opportunity to rapidly increase my strength.”

“In the future, during my spare time from cultivation, I might as well visit the local mortal cities, Immortal Pavilion and Immortal City.”

“Perhaps, just like the opportunity in Master Yin Yue’s Cave Mansion was accidentally known to a Qi Refining cultivator.”

“This, however, is like finding a needle in a haystack.”

“Aside from this, I still have another method.”

“While I can’t venture deeply into the Sun Faction’s territory and expose my Golden Core cultivation, the Purple Cloud Sect is nearby. I could go to their Immortal State as a loose Golden Elixir cultivator to probe for news about opportunities.”

“The Purple Cloud Sect isn’t at war with other powers. They shouldn’t cause a stir even if a Golden Elixir loose cultivator like me comes by.”

“By communicating with the Purple Cloud Sect’s Golden Core cultivators in their Immortal State, I might gain some information.”

“Moreover, the Golden Core cultivators in the Purple Cloud Sect should presumably lead simpler and fewer desires, hence, visiting them should be safer than visiting other places.”

“However, before doing so, I still need to ensure I have enough means to protect myself.”

“Perhaps it would be better to wait until five years later when I have harvested the spirit medicines, refined the pills, sold them for a large amount of spirit stones, then set off.”

“When the time comes, with a large amount of spirit stones in hand, no matter whether it is the Divine Thunder Array or the Earth-Concealing Divine Light Array, they will be able to exert their full power, and the level of safety will increase even more,”

Thoughts flashed through He Song’s mind. As he gazed at the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion getting closer and closer in the distance, his thoughts gradually calmed down.

Since he had decided to leave seclusion after five years, next, it will be time for diligent cultivation.

Although He Song currently has no secret techniques that he needs to study urgently.

Nor does he have any Array Skills that he needs to comprehend in a hurry.

Nor does he have any urgent things to do.

But the act of seclusive cultivation is still necessary.

However, the seclusion now is quite different from the previous ones.

During his cultivation in seclusion, He Song would occasionally find time to take a stroll in the Immortal Pavilion and Immortal City around his mansion.

He would gather information from within the Immortal Pavilion and Immortal City, even from the mortal cities or small towns, about the various news around.

This was something He Song had thought of before going into seclusion; gather information about opportunities in the surrounding Immortal Pavilion, Immortal City, or even within the mortal cities.

Time flies.

Years passed just like shuttle weaving silk.

In the blink of an eye.

Five years quietly passed by.

During these five years, He Song casually sold some fortunes he obtained during his Foundation Establishment Realm, and gained quite a lot of spirit stones.

The existence of these spirit stones enabled the number of spirit stones on He Song’s body to quickly grow from several thousand mid-grade spirit stones to over ten thousand.

With these spirit stones, He Song didn’t have to worry about spirit stones in these five years.

And not until after five years.

After five years of seclusive cultivation, He Song’s mana had improved further, and his own strength had increased quite a bit under the growth of mana.

Compared to five years ago, He Song’s strength has risen another notch today.

Simultaneously, the Mountain Crushing Skill and Earth Spirit Protection Skill that he has been practicing, also became more powerful under his continuous cultivation.

Although these two Golden Elixir Skills were already perfected by He Song, continuous cultivation still has its unique wonders.

According to He Song’s estimation, if he continues to cultivate, the power of these two skills would also increase.

Perhaps, after many years, the power of these two skills will also achieve a significant increase.

Apart from the growth in mana and skill.

He Song’s cultivation of the body refining skill has not stopped.

However, the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill that He Song has been practicing is not a profound technique. It is solely a Foundation Establishment Realm body refining skill from the Thick Earth Sect.

Therefore, even though He Song has spent decades, almost a century, since acquiring this Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

His physical cultivation has never been able to keep up with the growth of his own cultivation.

Until now.

He Song, after decades, nearly a century of continuous cultivation.

Just barely managed to use the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill to refine his body to a degree able to combat against a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator.

Now, although He Song’s figure remains unchanged, his physical strength is quite terrifying.

Even if he faces a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, today’s He Song, merely relying on his physical strength, can also rival them.

It must be said, the progress of body refining is indeed extremely slow.

But He Song didn’t care too much.

The reason he decides to practice this Divine Profound Body Refining Skill is just to leave himself an additional trump card.

He is not specifically a body refining cultivator.

Regarding the progress of the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill, although He Song is satisfied, he does not show any signs of it on his face.

He only starts to contemplate in his heart that in the future, he might need a Golden Elixir Realm body refining skill to quickly improve his physical cultivation.

In this way, his trump card in terms of physical strength will surpass what it is now.
